I agree with wobble. A JW will justify their theocratic war strategy by saying they are sometimes dealing with people who are not right in the head, and they must act accordingly. Well guess what? Some people feel that JW thinking is warped, so they act accordingly.
Looks Like I'm Back on the Radar- my Daughter has Local Elder Call on Me

Flipper, you are the King of JWN Cordiality!
FOUR PAGES of thoughtful replies.
Wishing you the best with your daughter, but as others have said, don't get your hopes up too high.

Iron Head,
Flipper calls himself an unbelieving relative so that he CAN TALK TO OTHERS OPENLY.
The WTS's rules about shunning labeled people don't apply to unbelieving relatives.
If he says he's an apostate (their word), then he CANNOT SPEAK OPENLY.
There is no silence on his part, rather, he is seeking to keep the silence broken.
HE SEEKS TO SPEAK UP!
Clear now?

DJ EGGNOG- First of all - you obviously didn't read my responses to TOTALLY ADD in that my daughter IS NOT aware of ANY of the things I told this elder- except for the concern over child abuse policies. I don't care if you flip burgers for a living , assist attorneys , or strip in an all male nightclub for women as a male stripper. You're still just a JW apologist trying to be an antagonist. What you do for a living has absolutely NO bearing on how the WT society or JW elders operate. Period. Your opinion registers on the level of Zero to me. Have a good day.
JOOKBEARD- I don't think that DJ with his VAST knowledge of law and order is quite up to speed as we are on how the WT society handles child abuse.
RETROVIRUS- It's not possible for DJ to lighten up- he's a JW apologist who tries to crash and hi-jack several of my and other people's threads. He brings pessimistic attitudes in every post he puts out.
CYBERJESUS- Well my friend- I may owe you a bottle of champagne this summer at Tahoe. Or- You may owe ME one. LOL ! We shall see.
HEAVEN- Yes, I agree. I don't voluntarily give my address to JW's either. In THIS case my daughter gave the elder my address- it was out of my control. Like, thanks a lot !
IRONHEAD- Whatever. Your post is insulting and ignorant and incorrect. See rule No.1
WOBBLE- IRONHEAD doesn't have a clue as to the reasons we do what we do Wobble- don't waste your breath on him. You know why I do it.
I'll come back and answer page 4 in a little while. Have a good morning.

INTERESTED ONE- I do think the JW reasoning & rules are warped, so yes- I act accordingly and treat the WT representatives in authority with as much respect as they dish out to me. They'll receive back whatever they're giving out. Respect or disrespect. This guy was nice- so I treated him respectfully.
OTWO- Exactly. I know the same guy.
OPEN MIND- I agree. I'm not getting my hopes up too high my friend. It will just be interesting to see how it plays out. You never know- it may not only get the elder to start thinking , but perhaps my daughter as well. We shall see. I'm the king of the " wait and see " type attitude. Seems the prudent course.
MRS. JONES- You know something I don't ? LOL !
KUDRA- Ditto what I said to Mrs. Jones . LOL !
WHITE DOVE- Thanks for explaining it to IRONHEAD. You have more patience with him than I do. I see that you definitely get it on why MANY of us do what we have to do to keep in touch with JW relatives
